Geocoding Addresses

As you’ve probably already guessed, the heart of most mapping applications is correlating your information with latitudes and longitudes for plotting on your map.

For locations in the United States and Canada, these services make geocoding addresses relatively easy and quite accurate most of the time. In other parts of the world, the job can become much harder. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
